SAN JOSE, Calif. – “It kinda feels like training camp again,” Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold said. “We’re all here in the hotel, we’re able to just hang out and spend a bunch of time together, where I feel like during the week, during the course of a normal week, that doesn’t necessarily happen.”
The Super Bowl is anything but a normal week for the Seahawks on paper, but they’ve let the big moment sink in as one.
“Seeing each other all day, every day,” Seahawks safety Coby Bryant said. “Whether it’s going out to eat together, spend time in the lunchroom together, whatever it may be. A lot more time spent together, and that’s been fun.”
“We’re hanging out with each other in the locker room, from whenever, 6:30 in the morning to six at night, but to actually be able to eat snack together, like little things like that that you don’t get to do over the course of a season,” Darnold said. “So, it’s great to be with the guys again bussing to the practice facility, spending time in that locker room, bussing back.”
The team enters its 20th game together, the most weeks ever for a Seahawks team in franchise history.
“Keeping every game the same,” Seahawks linebacker Boye Mafe said. “We’re keeping our routine the same, so that we stay in the same mentality and make sure that we don’t change anything how we do. We don’t make any game bigger than it needs to be or smaller than it needs to be. It’s more about the next game.”
And their fearless leader Darnold is locked in as ever, despite all the pressure and a looming super bowl number one of his resurgent career ahead.
“I think enjoying this moment is such a key for myself, but for a lot of guys in that locker room,” Darnold said. “I know they feel the same way.”
Seattle holds their final practice tomorrow before heading into Super Bowl LX against the New England Patriots this Sunday at 3:30 p.m.
